We had one call into work because they did not have any gas, but wanted their check.  lol
 
I hate speculators.  I think Bush forgot to declare the rest of the country a state of emergency.  If he did, we could control it some how.  
 
How much is it where you are?

I am in South Carolina.

Doesn't seem to have the same impact on the way down.

These big business are the same few that are being bandied about for tax breaks and incentives.

Show of hands, who is getting shovelfuls of money in working in the oil industry?

(not stocks and speculation)  but actually turning wrenches?

They are so full of crap

If I was a gas giant, I'd charge double what it cost me to produce and distribute, and leave it like that.

I wonder what it costs to get a barrel of oil to the pumps?

They better be careful here....the Governor nailed a whole bunch of them with huge fines when they did this after 9-11. Apparently they didn't learn the lesson well enough.

Just saying.

Omg!  How do these people sleep at night?! 
 
I remember after Hurricane Alicia struck in 1983, my Dad returning home extremely pissed off after going out in search of a bag of ice because one of the local stores was charging $20 a bag.   I'm crossing my fingers that we don't face more of the same after Ike is gone. 
 
ETA: $3.41 currently
